Spellweaver

Today's post is on Spellweaver
by Lynn Kurland. It is the second novel in her second Nine
Kingdoms
trilogy and as such you need to have read the first books to
understand what is going on. It is 385 and is published by Berkley
Sensation. The cover has the main character on it looking determined.
The intended reader is someone who like epic fantasy, thick plots,
and just a little romance. There is no language, no sex, and some
violence in this book. The story is told from the third person close
perspective of the two main characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From
the back of the book-
Sarah of Doire is finished mages and the mayhem they cause. Her quest
to find her brother and stop his foul spells has failed, her trust in
Ruith is shattered, and her future lies in ruins. All she wanted was
a peaceful place to weave- instead she's hunted by black mages,
trapped by her sense of obligation, and imperiled by a past she knows
nothing about... yet.

Hiding
in the mountains, Ruithneadh of Ceangail had long managed to ignore
the magic in his veins, until aiding Sarah with her ill-fated quest
forced him into places where his heritage was impossible to deny.
Now, faced with an ever-increasing number of enemies who've
discovered he's alive and want his power his choice is to accept his
birthright and gather his father's spells together so he can destroy
them, or turn away and allow his father's evil to overcome the Nine
Kingdoms.

Review-
So much happens in this book. Pasts revealed, more world building,
and more character development. I just love this series so much. The
writing, the characters, the plot, everything is just so good. The
last revelation that Gair may still be alive was not too much of a
surprise to me because of the black mage in the last book. The
mystery of who Sarah is has been solved but what dreamweaving is we
still do not know. There is more action in this one and more romance.
In addition we get see more of the world than the first trilogy and
first book. We travel to the dwarven kingdom and they are very
different from others that I have read about. They can use magic but
they have a particular brand of it. Ruith gets more okay with who and
what he is and now everyone but Morgain knows that he is alive. But
that is a problem for another day. I cannot wait to see how this is
going to end.

I
give this book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review
and I bought this book with my own money.
